Fervent Foodie

Today, it dawned on me:  I am kitchen appliance dependent. 

Nearly every meal I cook up makes use of my oven, stove top, or George Foreman grill.  If the meal is not something that typically requires one of these appliances I FIND a way to use them.  A sandwich, for example, can go from “meh” to “ohmmmmmmm myyyy gawddd” with just a quick bake in the oven. 

Take a gander at today’s lunch:

Why oh why can’t I put a toaster oven in my cubicle???  Google searches for “cubicle toaster oven” and “George Foreman in my cubicle” turned up with disappointing results…  (Yes, I actually spent 30 minutes looking at this) Alas, at least I get to use my gadgets for weekend lunches!

Today’s delicious healthified Italian sub consisted of:

• 1 Pepperidge farm 7 grain deli flat
• 4 ounces lean turkey breast
• 1/2 a slice Sargento Pepper jack cheese
• red onion
• tomato
• banana peppers
• 4 slices turkey pepperoni
• 1 tbsp Ken’s Steakhouse Lite Italian Romano dressing
• Couple sprinkles of Franks Red Hot
• dried oregano
• black pepper

All together nah:

I popped this guy into a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese was nice and melty:

Then sandwiched the two halves together:

YEESSSSSS.

Of course I also had a good size salad on the side, which rounded out this lovely Sunday lunch.

Love me some veggies
